The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the remediation of contaminated solids and liquids. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to the bioremediation of solids and liquids by a composition comprising a biocatalyst or mixture of biocatalysts. The present invention also relates to methods for producing the bioremediation compositions and methods for applying the bioremediation compositions to contaminated sites, including treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, as well as various contaminated water sources, such as aquifers and reservoirs.

The invention, belonging to the field of biological treatment of pollutants and functional materials, presents a non-dissolved redox mediator biofilm carrier and its preparation method. The graphene oxide and/or carbonylation modified graphene oxide are used as the non-dissolved redox mediator, which is called as the functional material, and the extrusion grade polyethylene/polypropylene particles are used as the basic material. The non-dissolved redox mediator biofilm carrier is prepared by the screw extrusion process, which is a simple, flexible and controllable method, and possesses strong adaptability. The reactor with these biofilm carriers has high removal efficiency of refractory organic pollutants.

The present invention discloses a tower-shape integrated ecological purification device for domestic sewage in a small town. The device includes a water storage and filter pond, a medium reverse osmosis pond, an amphibious biological reaction system, and an aquatic biological reaction system. The amphibious biological reaction system and the aquatic biological reaction system are alternately connected from the top down. The amphibious biological reaction system and the aquatic biological reaction system form an alternating dry and wet, oxidation-reduction compound environment. Plant absorption, biological substrate transformation, aeration, and strengthening medium adsorption are combined to form a multi-stage plant-microbe-animal integrated ecological purification treatment process/device. The present invention achieves the efficient purification and acceptable discharge of domestic sewage in small towns.

The present invention relates to microbial carriers for wastewater treatment, and in particular, relates to an organic composite powder carrier and its application for strengthening biological denitrification in municipal wastewater treatment. The organic composite powder carrier is compounded by a microbial carrier with a relatively large equivalent particle size and an organic alternative carbon source in the form of ultrafine powder. The composite powder carrier in the present invention includes a dedicated organic alternative carbon source, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The organic alternative carbon source can exclude the competitive relationship between microorganisms to ensure that denitrifying bacteria exclusively obtain electron donors required for denitrification. The composite powder carrier strengthens biological denitrification in municipal wastewater treatment, significantly improves denitrification efficiency, realizes deep biological purification of wastewater and ensures that the subject effluent complies with the strictest domestic discharge standards.

The present invention discloses a small integrated greening device and method for recycling wastewater, including a wastewater collection system, a microorganism and plant purification system, and a reclaimed water collection and distribution system. The method includes the following process: greywater or wastewater is collected through a pipeline and enters a water collection tank of a wastewater collection part. Lifting is performed by submersible sewage pumps, such that the lifted water enters a microorganism and plant synergistic purification and greening part. Each submersible pump is controlled by one corresponding automatic water level controller to transport the treated water to the reclaimed water-use sites. The device and method provided by the present invention utilize the physical and chemical action of a filler and the synergistic purification effect of microorganisms and plants to purify the greywater, and the purified reclaimed water is used for flushing toilets, watering trees or other purposes.

Water treatment structures may have at least a first geotextile fabric layer; a second geotextile fabric layer; a third geotextile fabric layer; a first filler layer with plastic particles, arranged between the first and second geotextile fabric layers; and a second filler layer with plastic particles, arranged between the second and third geotextile fabric layers, wherein the geotextile fabric layers and the filler layers are within a housing, and wherein the structure is configured such that contaminated water proceeds sequentially through the first geotextile fabric layer, the first filler layer, the second geotextile fabric layer, the second filler layer, and the third geotextile fabric layer. Methods of treating wastewater may involve passing wastewater, after optional oxygenating and pre-filtering, through such alternating layers of geotextile, preferably nonwoven, and polymer particles.

The technology relates to an apparatus, methods and applications to grow microorganisms on-site to treat contaminated environments. The apparatus is designed to function under a wide range of environmental conditions including extreme cold, extreme heat and direct exposure to sunlight. Such environments normally reduce the shelf-life of the organisms in the storage chamber that feeds the fermenter where they are being grown. These environments can also lower the growth rate of the organisms in the fermenter causing diminished cell output. Quite often the optimum point of application for the organisms is outdoor and too far from structures with appropriate protection from ultraviolet radiation from the sun or from excessive cold or hot weather. The technology in the application addresses these issues.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for pre-conditioning high-calcium wastewater by calcification blocking, and a device for implementing the method. The method for treating high-calcium wastewater by calcification blocking includes mixing high-calcium wastewater, an alkalizing agent and a chelating agent, and carrying out alkalizing conditioning pretreatment under a condition of stirring by bubbling of a biogas, so as to obtain pre-conditioned wastewater. The pre-conditioned wastewater is mixed with anaerobic granular sludge, and an anaerobic reaction is performed in a high hydraulic shear flow field formed by the biogas, so as to generate the biogas and calcium scale. A part of the biogas for the stirring is refluxed by bubbling of the biogas and the rest of the biogas is refluxed for forming the high hydraulic shear flow field.

The present disclosure relates to a sewage/wastewater treatment system using granular activated sludge and a membrane bio-reactor and a sewage/wastewater treatment method using the same that are configured to effectively remove pollutants contained in raw water through a granulation tank in which the granular activated sludge is contained and to allow the raw water to be filtered through movable membranes located on the upper portion of the granulation tank. The system includes: an indirect aeration tank adapted to supply air thereto to allow dissolved oxygen contained in raw water to reach a saturation concentration; a granulation tank adapted to allow floating microorganisms contained in the treated water passing through the indirect aeration tank to be granulated and having a sludge blanket formed thereon; and movable membranes located on the upper portion of the granulation tank in such a manner as to be movable in the granulation tank.

The present invention provides systems and methods for treating liquids including contaminant molecules dispersed therein by combining physical treatment, biological treatment and/or chemical treatment.
